AOC mocks Kavanaugh restaurant ousting by pro-choice protesters

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had little sympathy for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s unruly exit from a Washington steakhouse after protesters showed up to harass the judge over his role in overturning Roe v. Wade.

The New York Democrat downplayed Friday’s incident as a non-issue in a sarcastic tweet, saying the demonstrators should’ve “let him eat cake.”

“Poor guy,” she tweeted. “He left before his souffle because he decided half the country should risk death if they have an ectopic pregnancy within the wrong state lines. It’s all very unfair to him. The least they could do is let him eat cake.
